Ore and mining routes
Iron in Rifts of Thessaly
Iron is a Surface mining target for players whose current recipe or upgrade specifically requires it.
WHERE & HOW TO FARM
Iron in Rifts of Thessaly
Iron ore deposits in Rifts of Thessaly on the Surface route; mine them with the Crescent Pick.
Before you go
- Unlock the Surface route and progress through Ephyra to Rifts of Thessaly.
- Unlock the Crescent Pick in the Crossroads gathering tools.
- Confirm a current recipe or upgrade calls for Iron.
Farming steps
- Start a Surface run and advance through City of Ephyra toward the Rifts.
- When you enter a Rifts chamber, scan accessible edges and paths for Iron deposits.
- Clear nearby threats when they block access to a visible vein.
- Interact with each deposit to mine Iron using the Crescent Pick.
- Check the rest of the chamber before taking its exit.
- Continue through the Rifts and repeat the scan in rooms you reach.
- Return to the Crossroads and spend Iron on the selected recipe or upgrade.
- Do not stop at Ephyra when Iron is the target; continue along the Surface route into the Rifts.
- A room scan is a check for possible deposits, not a promise of a vein in every chamber.
Repeat, collect and use
Repeat Surface progress to the Rifts while Iron is still required. Deposit appearances vary by room, so collect visible ore without expecting a fixed quantity. Use the haul for the selected Crossroads requirement, then check whether Iron remains the limiting material.
Common mistakes
- Stopping in Ephyra while seeking Iron: continue to Rifts of Thessaly.
- Searching for a hand-pickable plant: Iron is an ore deposit mined with the Crescent Pick.
- Trying to equip the Crescent Pick before every run: unlocking gathering tools activates them automatically.
When to stop or switch
Stop targeting Iron once the planned requirement is met; switch to Ephyra for Bronze or another route for the next resource.
